Dear sir,
It seems that when calculating cash paid for finance lease under CFF, the format is like below:
finance lease b/d
+additions to finance lease capital balance
– cash paid for finance lease
= finance lease c/dHowever, I’m wondering if it should make sense to add the interest expenses on the finance lease to b/d to calculate the cash paid:
finance lease b/d
+ interest expenses on the finance lease
+additions to finance lease capital balance
– cash paid for finance lease
= finance lease c/d
Can you help thanks!Regards

The financing activities element of finance leases in statements of cash flow is purely the capital elements.
So:
Brought forward (both long term and current) +
Additions –
Cash paid =
Carried forward (both long term and current)
OK?
